Bodegas Mauro - Terreus 2012
97/100
Robert Parker
"Terreus 2012 is a single vineyard selection of old Tempranillo vines in the village of Tudela de Duero. [...] The color is dark ruby, bright (not black at all). The nose is very precise with aromas of red berries, subtle and complex with a lovely freshness. The palate is less spectacular than in previous vintages; tighter and more serious with a beautiful balance. It has all the qualities needed for long aging in the bottle. [...] With this new style, the wine can be enjoyed now, but will gain in complexity and depth if you have the patience to keep your bottles. It appearsthat there will be no Terreus in 2013."

About wine:
Terreus 2012 is a single vineyard selection of old Tempranillo vines in the village of Tudela de Duero. In 2012, they added grapes from younger vines planted on very chalky soils at higher altitudes to produce a more elegant and fresh wine, as here. The color is dark ruby, bright (not black at all). The nose is very precise with aromas of red berries, subtle and complex with a lovely freshness. The palate is less spectacular than in previous vintages; tighter and more serious with a beautiful balance. It has all the assets to age well in the bottle. They still age the wine in new barrels, but through viticulture, with more acidity and less alcohol, the wood has a different impact on the wine. Here, the wood even takes a back seat. With this new style, the wine can be enjoyed now, but will gain in complexity and depth if you have the patience to keep your bottles. It seems that there will be no Terreus in 2013.
